I like the simplicity of the proposal. That said, I do have a small concern: the nightly builds rely on using the next version, and bumping the version every ~1.5 months hasn’t really been a major overhead for us. It’s been pretty manageable in practice.
There’s also a minor benefit to keeping main on the next version, which provides a clear message to contributors about the next version the community is heading. Overall, I’m open to improvements, but I’m not fully convinced the fixed version buys us enough given the trade-offs. Happy to hear others’ thoughts!
